You have to pass the parameter "sout" to libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast function. In it, you can specify the desired format. For instance:

const char *sout = "#transcode{vcodec=mjpg, vb=1600}:http{dst=127.0.0.1:8090/cam.mp4}";
libvlc_vlm_add_broadcast(mVLCInst, media_name, "dshow://", sout, 0, NULL, true, false);

dshow:// is used on Windows, for Linux you use v4l2:///dev/videoX, where X is the cam ID.
